Some dawgs are just hard to FORGET

It'll be 2 years ago that I had to put ole Bill down but as I get ready for another goose season I seem to find myself thinking about the hound. Now don't get me wrong Macey has stepped up and became a very good dawg but there will always be an empty spot in my heart for the ole man. Sometimes he was just a big ole goof ball and you couldn't help but laugh

But when it came to hunting he was all business. Banks lake tons of geese on the lake and almost everytime we went there he'd sit in this same spot and just watch listen and wait

Even though his heritage was in question he was all retiever at heart, scared me a few times by breakin thru ice and stuff but there was no quit in him and the more birds he got to retrieve the better he liked it

It is really hard saying goodbye, but it is nice to reminisce about the times you had with them.

But going for a ride was something he couldn't get enough of. A cold day with the defrost going and the sun comeing thru the windshield was tuff to take

This was his last retrieve Sept 2006 with a little help from Macey. I didn't know that it would be at the time so I'm so glad i got this shot.

Thanks for the pics. They are great.
I had to put down my 13yr old Black Lab this year (in April) and I still get a little misty-eyed thinking about him.
Good luck to you and Macey this year.

I remember ole Bill and a lot more pictures I still have of him here in the computer some where. He was big enough to wade where other dogs had to swim. He was a gentle man.
Yes it was a hard but just call.Most of use has been there but glad you have the pictures
